Poland Supreme Court overturns orders to suspend Constitutional Tribunal leadership

The Polish Supreme Court has overturned orders issued by judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska to suspend Constitutional Tribunal President Bogdan Święczkowski and Vice-President Bartłomiej Sochański. The ruling, delivered by a three-judge panel, effectively reinstates both officials to their respective roles.

The decision follows a period of intense institutional conflict within the Tribunal. Since late October, Korwin-Piotrowska has claimed authority to direct the institution, leading to disputes over the legality of judicial actions and the presence of police at the Tribunal headquarters. Supreme Court judge Kamil Zaradkiewicz stated that the ruling confirms Korwin-Piotrowska and her colleagues are acting without legal authority.

Amidst the leadership struggle, employees of the Constitutional Tribunal have formed a local branch of the NSZZ Solidarność trade union. Union representatives stated the organization was created to provide legal support and independent representation for staff facing uncertainty regarding employment stability and the legality of administrative decisions made during the dispute.
